operation  contrasting valkyrie   
     in  the sixties.  the central    
   intelligence agency "cia" release  
   aerosolized  selatenine  over  a   
  jupiter equinox  concert, creating  
   the largest secret paradigm shift  
   that  the world has ever  seen.  
  
                                          
 the jupiter equinox*  concert is part of 
 a festival in black tickle  arranged  by 
 a group called  epicenter of love. there 
 is  no   entrance   but   visitors   are 
 expected  to help with maintenance. food 
 and  drink  is shared.  many  bands  are 
 playing over the four  day course of the 
 festival, and the stage is open  between 
 scheduled   concerts.   jupiter equinox, 
 while an unknown act, has a  prestigious 
 timeslot  at eight in the evening on the 
 third  day,  which  is  friday.       
                                          
 eight is also  when  the  plane  used to 
 spread   the  aerosol   lifts  off.   it 
 arrives at the festival  about a quarter 
 past,  sound  masked  by  the   concert. 
 around   when    the   first   wave   of 
 selatenine   must   have   reached   the 
 audience, the song comes to  a tense but 
 quiet  movement,  and  the  lead  singer 
 walks  to  the   front  of   the  stage. 
                                          
 she says, with  a crystalline  voice: "i 
 have  something  to tell you. i am not a 
 human being. i  am not  an  animal  or a 
 plant. i  have  been  sent to deliver  a 
 message  to you. a message of hope.  you 
 are not  alone.  there  are other beings 
 in  the  universe.  there  is  life  out 
 there,  life  that  is  reaching  out  a 
 hand. and it's time to  take that  hand. 
 to reach out  toward that  hand and grab 
 it it. it is time to come home. you  are 
 going  home.  you   are   going   home." 
                                          
 the  singer  stands  there   for  a  few 
 moments,  her  hand  raised  in the air, 
 before  the rest  of  the band kicks  in 
 and  the  music builds to  a  crescendo. 
 the crowd  erupts.  and  then  something 
 else  erupts  as  well.  a  concert-goer 
 describes  it:   "suddenly,  the   music 
 seams  broader,  more  colorful.  i  can 
 somehow see  it, and i  feel  the others 
 seeing  it, and i  see  it through their 
 eyes  as well.  meanwhile  i'm  dancing, 
 and  i  can  feel my body  as i've never 
 done  before, i am  aware of  each  cell 
 and  each  molecule,  all  vibrating  in 
 unison.   and  it's  all  going  faster, 
 building  up to  something,  waking up." 
                                          
 people  start forming  circles,  holding 
 hands  and  dancing.  some  are  crying. 
 some are laughing. some  are  screaming. 
                                          
 and then  - a  flutter  - and  something 
 gives.   a   shockwave   of    reversing 
 polarity   in   the  ether,   and   like 
 butterflies  getting hit  by  a burst of 
 wind, the third eye opens  for  everyone 
 in the audience. and it becomes a  chain 
 reaction,  quickly spreading  across the 
 festival  area. within seconds  there is 
 a   global  blackout.   festival   goers 
 regain  their  memories  around  a  week 
 later,  those  in  the  nearby  town  of 
 black tickle  after  a   few   days,  in 
 montreal for  the  evening,  the rest of 
 america  maybe  an  hour.           
                                          
 and  thus,  the   population   of  earth 
 has  kind  of  left  it's  materialistic 
 baseline,   only   that   most   do  not 
 remember                             it. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * there's an interesting aspect to  
   the  "jupiter equinox"  act.  it   
    seems   there  was  never  any    
  jupiter equinox concerts before or  
  after the one in black tickle. the  
   lead  singer (also  colloquially   
  referred  to as jupiter) seemed to  
  immediately disappear (for a  long  
  while she was thought to have been  
  a  cia  agent,  but  a later foia   
  release refuted this). for obvious  
  reasons, many were looking for any  
   trace  of  the  band,  but  none   
   were fruitful.                     
                                      
  recently, however,  some attention  
  has been drawn to juniper helding,  
  a sixteen year old pop singer from  
   england who  has  a very striking  
   similarity...
